The Most Beautiful Picture



Today we had our ultrasound and were able to see so many miraculous things. Our precious little one was very active in there stretching and kicking, opening and closing its mouth, doing toe touches. We were able to see all of the heart chambers, the brain, the bladder, the kidneys, the spine. It is truly amazing what those machines will uncover. The sonographer did a marvelous job of avoiding areas that we did not want to see, though my husband tried to be sneaky and count the ribs. Who even thinks like that?!

As exhausted as we were from moving mountains of boxes over the past two days, this morning was a nice little sigh of a moment. The baby is growing beautifully and we count ourselves blessed with our little miracle. What a beautiful moment!

I can't wait to see that little face looking back at me from my arms. I'm a little over halfway now and will be so excited to see what's in store for us and this little bundle come July!!

Oh, I see a little fist, an arm, a leg, and a little face. Isn't it exciting?

When I first saw my daughter's ultrasounds from her first baby, my heart skipped several beats and I couldn't catch my breath. I was looking at a living human being with recognizable features that my daughter and son-in-law made. I will never forget it as long as I live. It was so thrilling and amazing. They didn't have ultrasounds when I had my babies in 1969 and 1971, so it was certainly a thrill to see hers.

I know you are so excited and can barely wait for that magic moment when you hold your beautiful baby in your arms for the very first time. The next several months will be spent in splendid anticipation.

How cool is that. No fair counting ribs, though! Call me old-fashioned, but there's something to the surprise of having the doctor announce, "Congratulations! You've just had a ___!"
